Matthew Jukes Reviews Mas de Cadenet Rosé In The Daily Mail. 2020 Mas de Cadenet Rosé, Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire, France. Made from Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, this is one of the most elegant rosés of the year. It segues nicely from being a talented summer wine into a brilliant autumnal creation because it has impressive intensity and considerable depth of cherry and raspberry fruit. Perfect with the stunning Pork shoulder with pistachio stuffing recipe.

Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies (ABS) are delighted to be adding a new agency to their Bordeaux portfolio, Château Canon Chaigneau, from Lalande de Pomerol. This will complement their current offerings from Château Fontesteau in the Haut Médoc and Bordeaux based negociant Maison Montagnac.
by ABS Wine Agencies, 7th September 2021
Located in the centre of the Médoc peninsula, the wine estate of Chateau Fontesteau stretches over a remarkable natural landscape. The thirteenth century castle nestles like a precious jewel encased in a magical landscape, with its forest boasting one-hundred-year-old oak trees surrounded by pines with a charming little lake. The Fontesteau vineyard has been using integrated agricultural methods for the last 30 years, exploiting the plants’ natural defence system and avoiding where possible the use of synthetic products to protect the vineyard. It's now certified as a Sustainable Vineyard.
